He is being held at the Chatham County jail. Only a Superior Court judge can grant him a bond.

The woman is not being identified because of a Savannah Morning News policy against naming the victims of sexual assaults.

According to a report filed by Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department APO W. Aldridge, this is what happened:

A cab company dispatcher sent the woman to pick up a fare at a downtown bar at about 3 a.m. The woman picked up Jimenez and noticed he smelled strongly of alcohol and seemed drunk.

She drove Jimenez home in her cab, a white mini-van. Once there, he got out and walked to his door. The woman was on the phone with her dispatcher talking about her next fare when she saw Jimenez fall near his front door. She informed the dispatcher she was going to help Jimenez and would call back for further details.

As she helped Jimenez up, he forced her into his apartment, threw her to the ground, took her clothes off and raped her.

Jimenez backed off when the woman, who has heart problems, hyperventilated during the attack. That's when she was able to escape. He followed her outside but went back in when he noticed a passerby.

The woman got in her cab, called 911 and waited for help.

As Aldridge, who was first on the scene, spoke with the woman, Jimenez came out of his apartment and was arrested. From the backseat of the patrol car, Jimenez said he'd had consensual sex with the woman.
